CATDOLL: Speechless! Japan votes for 15 overused settings in shonen comics

Goo ranking, a Japanese website that makes rankings for fun, recently released a survey of 250 male and female readers. The theme of the survey was the common kingly settings in boys' comics. Just as the male protagonists in martial arts novels often fall off a cliff and then learn powerful martial arts, boys' comics represented by Weekly Shonen Jump also have some overused settings:

[Common settings in boys' comics]

No. 1: The seemingly lazy protagonist actually possesses extraordinary abilities (46.0%)

No. 2: The heroine’s appearance and characteristics are outstanding (37.2%)

No. 3: The protagonist has a unique leadership quality and gathers allies along the way (29.0%)

No. 10: Most people get lost during their adventures, but they always arrive safely in the end (15.8%)
